Gossamer Wings Poem by Juan Olivarez
Gossamer Wings
I had a dream, that I could fly,
On gossamer wings, in the clear blue skies.
Floating above the Earth below,
Going where the air currents chose to go.
I dreamt I soared above the sea,
Just by myself, there was only me.
Watching the sun rise over the brine,
Not one other soul could I find.
I soared over deserts and mountains high,
On my gossamer wings, in the clear blue sky.
And I was alone and feeling free,
But so much loneliness was a part of me.
The last creature on Earth, flying high,
Searching for life, and I started to cry.
What use to me were gossamer wings,
If all over the world, there were no living things.

Your poem is magnificent. Very well written and wonderful imagery, while I was reading it I actually wrote one of my own. Hope you don’t mind that it inspired me. Desert In early morning light, temperatures starts to rise, On raven wings, I dreamed I could fly, Summers heat making the image wave, Over land that workers spent their life to pave. Not a single thing remained green, No place to rest, no songs to sing, Watching the heat ripple and writhe, I felt the ground so far below was as a tide. I searched farther to find my rest, And I looked so far and wide, Only thing moving in emptiness, Was the waving earth tide. Leon Somer 12-13-12

Always thought I left something out.
